WAS THE BANK kUCMEMED

The San Francisco correspondent
of the Stockton Mail tells the fol-
lowing:
l heard the other day that the
Nevada bank had been badly hurt
by the late wheat deal. Not i'm
paired, of course, for its owners
private wealth is too great for that,
but Inched on it's profits SO much
that future dividends are exceed
ingly problematical. The figure
was put at "a, 900 ,000,, and If this
is true we may look out for a big
stock deal to enable Mackay and
Flood to pull back some of their
lost coin. Apropos of the wheat
deal, our Produce Exchange is GO
ing to get itself badly disliked by
raising the grade of No. l shipping
to 60h pounds to the bushel.
This was dirty trick to squeeze
farmers who had sold July and Au-
gust wheat. No upland will raise
such wheat, and it is a higher
standard than ever was raised be-
fore, so farmers who sold their
crops in advance, knowing that it
had always been No. /, will find
themselves in a nasty fix when they
come to deliver, and don't think
that the contract is moral or en-
forcable in law. If enforced it
means that the Northern farmers
must send below to buy wet wheat
from wet lands to fill their contracts
and that will mean a terrible loss.
My advice is to repudiate and let
the ring have taste of its own med
icine.

additional places at table. The or.
ders were given by word of mouth,
but that remarkable woman never made
a mistake during the many years knew
her. When complimentet one day on her
good memory she pointed to slate on
which she always wrote every detail at
once. Perhaps some of US women have
too great tendency to adore our friends
and worry them, as well as ourselves, by
being too demonstrative, and expecting
too much in return for our attachment.
Always let your presence be desired, was
the advice given by man OF the world
to a lady anxious to keep her friends.
ALWAYS treat your friend as if he might
become your enemy, and your enemy as
if he might some day be your friend, is
maxim that would save much heartburn
ing. Among minor worries dress GER
tainly is one to some women. But If we
remembered that every period of life has
its own charm I think this anxiety would
be lessened. To del cate persons the lit
tie precautions essential to pr, serve health
are often very worrying; but if they recol-
lected how precious their health IS to
loving friends they would probably recog-
nize that in taking care of themselves
they are sparing much anxiety to others.
The warm wrap may be taken by the
delicate person in order to spare friends
anxiety. while perhaps the busy man of
letters will take more exercise for health's
sake if he knows that those who love him
will be grateful to him for so doing"

WOmen'S Worries.

If YOU are of nervous, excltable tenn

A good mistress makes a good servant, ,
and undoubtedly kindness and consider

when in different positions Though we
should save ourselves much worry by

perfect, yet think, by studying our SER

to avoid the frequent changes which are
so trying. For instance if we have any
reason to think a servants memory is de-
fective, it is a very good rule to give ev-
cry order in writing. Indeed, many peo-
ple make o point Of writing orders for
their carriages and horses; and remem-

Two Miles q Minute.

A thrilling account of a trip on wild
cat train down the Rocky Mountains is
told by William Tillia, a traveller who
recently arrived in Toronto by the Cana
dian Pacific Railway from British Co.
lumbia. Two cars of a passenger train,
while being hauled up the steepest grade
in Kicking horse Pass. which is one inch
to the foot for nearly two miles, broke
loose from the locomotive and COM
menced mad career down the noun
tain side. TIE brakes were frozen and
could not be applied with effect.
Some of the twenty occupants in the
cars tried to rise. but the speed was so
great that they could not stir from their
seats. The cars reached safety switch,
a distance of two miles from the place
they broke loose from the locomotive, in
one minute. The passenger car caught
the safety switch and was piled on the
opposite incline complete wreck. The
baggage car, which did not contain any
passengers, went on down the main line
and did not leave the track. A number
of passengers were killed, and others re-
ceived probably fatal injuries. Some
miraculously escaped almost uninjured.

How 1t Feels to Be Wounded.

The next day, just before Longstreet's
soldiers made the first charge on the Sec
ond corps, I heard the peculiar cry a
stricken man utters as the bullet tears
through his flesh. turned my head, as
I loaded my rife, to sec who was hit. 1
saw a bearded Irishman pull up his shirt.
He had been wounded in the left side
lust below the floating ribs. His face
was gray with fear. The wound looked
as though it was mortal. He looked at
it for an instant, then poked it gently
with his index fin ger. He flushed redly
and smiled with satisfaction. He tucked
his shirt into his trousers and was fight
ing in the ranks again before l had
capped my rifle. The ball had cut
groove in his skin only. The play of this
Irishman's face was expressive, his emo.
tions changed so quickly, that could
not keep from laughing.-"Rsc0lle

Influence of Fool Supply.

A veritable plague of Brazil, accord.
ing to Won Ihering, results from the
singular increase Of burrowing mice of
the genus Hcsperonys which, ordinarily
very rare, become alarmingly abundant
at irregular periods coincidirg with flow
ering seasons of the herbaceous plant
which furnishes their chief food. This
plant, q Cresciuma, reaches maturity
and flowers only at regular intervals vary
ing from six to thirty years. In May and
June, 1876, the mic. appeared in pro"
digious numbers at Lourenco, where in
few days they totally demolished. the
fields of corn, potatoes, rye and barley
invaded houses and destroyed every
thing not too hard for their teeth, anoI
even ate fat swine, and removed the
wooden shoes from the COWS. At the
natural rate of increase the progeny OF
q pair of the mice would reach 1000
individuals in o season. and if their
multiplication was favored by an abun-
dant seeding of their favorite plant
every year they would soon drive all
other living creatures from the country.

On the Wing.

Supposing the rate of birds flight to
be taken at forty, fifty or sixty miles all
hour, the sportsman has only to remem-
Der that mile an hour is almost exactly
equivalent to one and half feet per Sec
ond, and he thus has o ready means of
comparison with the tables of velocity.
These show, for example, that with an
ordinary sporting charge thirds and one
and onc-eighth ounces) the mean velocity
of No. 5 or No. G shot, in a range of
thirty-five yards, about 900 feet a Sec
ond, or at the rate of 600 miles an hour;
and so, on comparing this GOO miles with
the speed of the birds flight, it will DE
found that the shot moves ten times as
fast as a bird going sixty miles an hour;
twelve times as fast as one that flies fifty
miles an hour, and fifteen times as fast
as one which goes forty miles an hour.
Consequently they would fly about two
and quarter yards, three yards and
three and half yards respectively, while
the shot is travelling thirtyfive yards at
the rate given above. e.-New York Herald.

How to Live q Century.

Professor Humphry, of Cambridge,
has prepared q series of tables which con-
tain some interesting information about
centenarians. OF So persons whom he
mentions, at least 11-2 males and fe-
actually attained the age of 100.
Others attained very nearly to the hun
dred years. Only one of the persons
reached 10S years, while one died at the
alleged age of 106. Of the So pessons,
36 were women and 10 men. Prof.
Humphry tells us that the comparative
immunity of women from the exposures
and risks to which men are subjected,
and the greater temperance in eating and
drinking exhibited by women are the
chief points in determining their higher
chances of longevity. Out OF the c6
women 26 had been married, and II had
borne large families. Of the 26 women
who had been wives had married before
they were 20, at 16, and at II. Twelve
of the 50 centcnarians were discovered to
have been the eldest children of their
parents. This fact, adds Mr.. Humphry,
does not agree with popular notions that
the first children inherit feebleness of
constitution, nor with the opinion of rae
ing stables. which is decidedly against
the idea that "frstlings" are to be de-
pended on for good performance on the
course. The centenarians generally re-
garded were of spare build. Gout and
rheumatism were, as rule, absent. ''It
seems" says Prof. Humphry, "that the
frame which is destined to great age
needs no such prophylactics, and engen-
ders none of the peccant humors for
which the fnger.joints Gas in gouD may
find o. vent"
Of the SO aged people, "a only had no
teeth, the average number of teeth re-
naming being 4 or S. Long hours OF
sleep were notable among these old Eco
pie, the period of repose averaging nine
hou:s; while sout of-door exercise in
plenty and early rising are to be noted
among the factors of prolonged life.
One Of the centenarians "drank to excess
on festive occasions;" another was a
Stree beer drinker," and "drank like q
fish during his whole life." Twelve had
been total abstainers for life or nearly
so, and mostly all were "small meat
eaters. "-tSt. Janes's Gazette.

SeICPOssessiOn of Thieves,

Check, says a detective in the Globe
Democrat, is an indispensable quality for
crook, for often when caught, as we
say, "dead to rights" they can face it
out. Some time ago a fellow named
Theophilus George was working the ho-
tells, and he got into room where a man
was lying fully dressed, though asleep,
in the bed. George proceeded to 60
through his pockets, and as he was do
ing so the man woke up. "What are
you doing therci" he asked. George
looked at him hastily, and then looked
again, and rubbing his hands, half smiled
and excused himself, repeating the words
''excuse me" until he got to the door
and out and away. Ifhe'd lost his head
he might have been shot or captured, but
his effrontery paralyzed the man. A cool
piece of thieving during the festivities
was that of the fellow who took sachel
from lady's hand and put stick
in place of the handle. She had the
stick in her hand when she went to open
the sachel for car fare, but could not tell
at what time the sachel disappeared.

Photographing Flying Gulls.

An example of the speed with which
pictures can now be produced is afforded
by photograph of number of flying
gulls taken at Southport by local pho.
tographer, Mr.. Mallin. Of course ami
mails in far more rapid movement have
been photographed by Mr.. Muybridge in
America and NJ. Marcy in France, but
these are produced by special apparatus,
and rarely give much more than sill
houette of the object photographed.
The picture of the gulls was taken un-
der ordinary conditions, and with ordi-
nary apparatus; but the lens must have
been a good one, and very rapid shut
ter must have been employed. The plate
